No. 103 Whitechapel Road is a single-bay, three-storey and attic building with a gambrel roof that may date in large measure to 1848 when George Furby, the resident ironmonger and hardware merchant, was obliged to rebuild after a fire. There was further rebuilding in 1921–2. A flat conversion in 2005–7 was carried out by Hutton Enterprises acting as architectural consultants for Ajay and Arwin Taheam of Zeco Ltd. The shop has been home to the Pie Factory since 2012, a halal establishment serving traditional British pies. 1
